Dover was fun right? Riiight?

Pit crew guys were almost run over, there was a big ‘ole crashy-crash and Jimmie Johnson wore a silly rainbow-colored clown wig. Good times. Good times.

NASCAR suspended Kurt Busch today for “verbal abuse to a media member; actions detrimental to stock car racing; violation of probation” through June 13th and they extended his pre-existing probation through December 31, because of the video of him chewing out a media member in the only way Kurt Busch can. I’m not even surprised anymore by the things this guy does. If he wants to self-destruct I say go right ahead, he’s doing a beautiful job of it so far. If anything, it’s just really sad.
